Burlap Totes

This was gift from a friend who works with children, getting them to be part of a business and make things from scratch. This was one of the things they did this year!


The burlap used on the inside is divine - its from Betty's tearooms - its what their tea arrives in! The kids trade recycled things with Bettys for fabrics and other things, a great idea to get people recycling. They collect stamps and bottletops (which once they have the weight of a wheel chair in bottletops, they can actually swap for a wheelchair!) and even glasses and phones.
MummySew got one too...

  3. That is an amazing bag. I love the recycled burlap!

    And swapping bottle caps for a wheelchair is just an incredible motivation to collect the bottle caps, I would think.
